New Mechs Named

Today we reveal the winning names from our MechWarrior 4 Name the Mech contest.

At the beginning of June, we conducted a poll to help Microsoft choose the names of two new mechs making their debut in MechWarrior 4. Today we unveil the names that, by popular demand, will grace these mechs in the game. The light 40-ton mech will be dubbed Chimera. The 75-ton heavy mech, bristling with long-range missles, will be called Thanatos, the Greek word for death.

In case you didn't get a chance to see them during the contest, here are the exclusive illustrations and technical specs of these two towering war machines.
